My Favorite Things - Sketch Challenge #500

Hello....popping in today with a quick post to share my card for My Favorite Things 500th Sketch challenge. I used this sweet shark from Friends with Fins stamp set. So much fun to play with!

Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by....enjoy your day and please stay safe!

Polar Bears

Hello....popping in today with one Polar Bear card for 3 challenges.  My sweet friends Joyce and Tracey decided that we would all make cards using these sweet Polar bears from MFT. I had so much fun taking my bears on a winter trip complete with ice bergs!  And if you noticed they are social distancing too!

First challenge is Hero Arts Stay Crafty #10 Build a Scene

Second challenge is over at My Favorite Things - Color Challenge #143

And the final challenge is My Favorite Things - Sketch #493

This is my second Slimline card, I really love having a bit more space to create a fun scene and these sweet polar bears from My Favorite Things were so perfect for making one. I used MFT Stripes and Dots patterned paper to make the water between the breaks in the ice. 

Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by...stay home and stay safe!

Happy Little Stampers - July Sketch Challenge

Hello...can you believe it is July 1st....where has the year gone? Well I am happy as a calm that it is the first of July, it means that I am posting my first challenge card with the Happy Little Stampers family, what a fabulous honor to be part of this amazing group of talented ladies. 

I don't have many tree stamps but the one I do have, I've had it forever and finally get to put it to good work. So happy that I have my MISTI too, made all the difference in the world in getting a clean image. I wanted to keep my card as CAS as possible and thought this would make a great thank you card for my students at school. I will be making more of these and change up the colors.

I hope you will find the time to play along with us, you have all month to play and I am really looking forward to seeing your wonderful creations.

Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge #115 and Baseball

Happy Sunday! Yesterday I finally had some time and felt motivated to make some cards...I have really missed sitting at my desk playing with all of my incredible toys.  It felt so good and I made 3 cards and for 3 different challenges too!  My first card is for Waltzingmouse sketch challenge...to be honest I really thought my card would double for both the sketch and the blog party, well I was wrong, the blog party card theme is fall and of course I made Christmas....oh well, I can always use more Christmas cards and I was so happy with the way this one turned out, it even has a hidden Mickey on it! I have a large drawer filled with scraps from card kits and challenges and this card was made using nothing but leftover...felt good to do that, but now I really need to get it organized.

Josh Reddick - Hottest player for the Oakland A's and he is just too cute too!

Christina and Ashleigh...they are just a hoot to hang out with at the ball park.  We took Christina to the game to celebrate her birthday and had a great time! We all root for different teams, Ashleigh is an A's fan, I'm for the Giants and unfortunately Christina is an Angel's fan...sure makes for some interesting conversation at the park!

Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge #112

Happy Sunday! Hope all you are having a wonderful weekend so far.  I finally got a chance to sit down and put a few cards together and my first card is for this week's Waltzingmouse sketch challenge. I was inspired by Renee's spider web and knew I had to make another Halloween card, I am just over the moon about all of WMS Halloween stamps, Wanda is just the best looking witch I have ever seen! One of my favorite stamps from Wanda's Pantry set is the witches brew stamp, I used that one and added a cauldron to so along side it.   I was trying to get another look so I decided to use some paper I had in my stash, more vampire looking.  So here you go and thank you all so much for taking a peek!

Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge #95

My sister asked me to make a wedding card for one of her co-workers who is getting married later this year and thought this would be the perfect challenge sketch to try and make something special.  It took me two attempts to get it right, this card has to be special.  The first card I made last night and I was just not happy with it...earlier in the day I cut out and made Ashleigh some new pj's and the leaning over just seemed to do a number on my back, and it reflected in my card. So needless to say that card hit the trash and I started fresh this morning and had much better results. Thanks for taking a peek!
